Just Some Tid Bits

Here are some funny little happenings from today that I thought were worth sharing. I will tell them in order of how they happened.

First, while I was on the phone with a friend, I saw Echo inconspicuously walk into the kitchen with his pants and underwear around his ankles. If you are asking how anyone can manage to do that in any way but a conspicuous manner, my reply would be, you just have to know my son. When a few seconds later, I heard what sounded like water trickling into some sort of container. I decided to investigate the situation, only to find my sweet little man peeing into a drinking glass. He left the kitchen heading for the bathroom with his urine, which I assumed would be dumped into it's proper receptacle. However, later I learned from John that he had handed it to John. And John thinking it was water went to take a sip. Echo yelled "NO DAD!! It's pee!!"

At some point today I was having a conversation with Blaze about calories, and how they keep you alive. And I mentioned that I burn a lot of calories at Zumba, and I haven't been consuming enough. About an hour later, she asks me, "Does milk have calories in it?" and I responded that it does. And she brings me a glass of milk and says "Here mom, drink this." She is such a sweet sensitive spirit, and I love that about her. But she can also be a bit of a worrier. I have to be careful what I say to her. A few hours later I found her almost in tears in the playroom stressing about a cartoon that just revealed to her that watching TV will ruin your eyes. With some reassurance she is feeling much better now.

Lock has been walking around all day uttering, yelling, screeching, whining, or just casually saying his newest phrase, "NO WAY!" It's especially cute when he pairs it with what he now calls me, "No Way Honey!" He had a great time making "mud pies" today with Shade and Echo. The only problem was, as their water boy, he would come in the house to refill his muddy filthy cup, take several large gulps and head out the door to bring his siblings the rest. Can you say probiotics??

Shade just announced that she had to go to the bathroom. So she picked up the dog and started heading towards said direction. When I questioned her about what part the dog was playing in her trip to the loo. She simply said "He likes to come with me." She is quite the mystery that one.

So although I have been mostly bedridden with strep throat for a couple of days, I haven't been bored!!

This is just a little something Echo built me today. I was resting on the couch and he says "Mom, come and see this!" I was so amazed I had to take a picture. Notice the bowl of balls as the "finishing touch".
